That's not true, Djokovic has something like $20 million annually from endorsements, and actually has better racquet deal than Roger.

They were comparing djokovic's last year earninings which was less than 15 million..

anyway am sure djokovic will never have half of what he has right now when he stops playing.. he is not loyal to a brand and his brand image is diluted.. he was with adidas first, then taggicchi and now uniqlo.. basically wandering between whoever pays more money..

dduuudeee... you are completely mistaken.. Federer's endorsement with rolex is performance based and the number of times he dons it while holding a grand slam.. This year in particular was special because he had the Rolex 'The President' which is worn by the who and who of political and business world.. He does not get paid 15 million every year but I am sure as hell that he got paid 15 million this year...

The items I've seen from around 2006 which mention the deal outline his $15m, ten year deal. It's nothing new.

The item you've seen - the one which shows the timing of him winning Wimbledon and donning his watch - seems to have recycled info on the deal.

I have read it not from that only source but also many other credible sources..

People actually timed the time gap between his winning and his wearing the new rolex and it was "1 min 28 sec" thats how motivated federer was in promoting it.. ofcourse it paid big bucks..

That 1 min 28 secs detail has then been recycled again in a number of me too websites.

While the timing may be accurate but it's likely got nothing at all to do with any specific dollar amount - he is and has been sponsored by them for years. The rest of the item reeks of "guess something" journalism which, as usual, is repeated elsewhere by other websites similarly lacking in any journalistic quality. Repeating something doesn't give it any more credibility.

bobswatches is a premier seller of rolex watches and an accredited partner..
now if you say they are wrong too then I rest my case..

I think you'll find they're what the media business call "repeaters"... Those that don't generate any original news - rather they grab it from elsewhere. The info may well be generally right but some key details seem to be missing.

"Tennis player Roger Federer has signed an endorsement deal with Rolex worth up to $15M over roughly ten years, which is “thought to be the most lucrative watch deal ever for an athlete,” according to a source cited by Daniel Kaplan of Sportsbusiness Journal."

I highlighted the quotes of each you should take note of. It might pay to read a little further than the first result in a google search if you want to find something worthy of quoting.

Ok, but I'm sure Novak will lead in a prize money earnings at the end of his career

With all due respect mate... I read all of those.. the thing it was mentioned in 2012 that he inked a 15 million deal in 2012.. i thought like u in the beginning but then I wondered if he is still in the same deal why would he sign it again in 2012?? which then had me wondering if he was paid 15 million in 2012.. its anyone's guess really..

rolex being swiss company makes me want to believe they paid that much this year.. also the numbers would add up.. his earnings are around 55 million a year.. : 15 from nike, 15 from rolex, 1.5 from wilson, and others follow..

You don't need to say with all due respect... The item on Bobswatches is a classic "repeater" article. It's poorly written, with a number of odd grammatical errors - an obvious warning bell to anyone with above average comprehension skills. The headline is deliberately written to attract attention and then article says nothing of the sort.

Notwithstanding, the Bobswatches item DOES NOT say he signed a deal or a new deal with Rolex in 2012. It says "it was reported that Roger Federer is currently earning a $15 million endorsement deal from the Rolex Company".

If you disagree, please show me what part of that item implies or states outright that a new deal has been signed.

That wesbite, FYI, is little more than a blog loaded with repeated news (which is slightly edited to fool the search bots) for the purpose of raising its search rankings as a site for people selling Rolex watches. It suits their commercial purpose and nothing else. It's not a news site anymore than McDonald's is a cooking school.
